IMAP email sent items

[Guest bingobob]

I'm using the inbuilt email client with an IMAP account at fastmail.fm.

Works fine in the main, I just get copies of all new mails to my vario and I can reply fine using the fastmail SMTP server (requires authrntication) works fine.

Trouble is I cannot see my sent items (when i send from the vario) - either in the vario client side sent items folder or server side. It's really good to get reassurance some stuff has actually gone, when sending from the Vario, so I miss this feature.

Any ideas?

cheers

I use my M3100 with Fastmail too, and have my Sent Items perfectly sync'd. You may need to adjust a setting in the Fastmail webmail client to get the Sent Items folder sync'd on your phone. Here's what you need to do:

Log in to the fastmail webmail client on your PC. Go to options > personalities. Select your 'default' personality and ensure that the 'Sent Items on SMTP' field is ticked.

Then on Pocket Outlook on your phone, ensure that the folder 'Inbox.Sent Items' is set to synchronise. (Note: there will be a separate 'Sent Items' folder - created by Pocket Outlook - in your Fastmail account on your phone. You should completely ignore this folder as it's a local folder which the Fastmail servers can't see.

Hope that makes sense.

Cheers Shandy,

I tried what you said and it worked a treat. I wouldn't have found that option in fastmail without your advice. Didn't work so well first time but I don't think that the vario liked synching my sent items folder which had 400+ items in it! Archived stuff and it works fine. Very pleased.
